Cosmetic Anti Aging Treatments

by Marianna Pells

You have many choices if you are looking for beauty anti aging treatments. Beauty anti aging treatments include surgical and natural treatments. Surgical treatment may involve resurfacing peels, while natural treatments can now be done with microdermabrasion and herbal cures for the skin.

Laser Peel Procedure:

The laser peel treatment utilizes a laser, which is carbon dioxide. The laser gets rid of fine lines, wrinkles and general skin damage, gradually peeling off very thin layers of skin. The treatment gives the patient a clearer complexion with reduced creases, scars and dark spots. It targets wrinkles surrounding the eyes and mouth, but can also be performed on the whole face and body.

On the other hand, the laser peel treatment is not always the best for everyone, even though it is a fairly accurate treatment. Those with brown, black or olive skin have a higher possibility of skin discoloration after treatment. Worse case scenarios include bleeding and bruising.

Chemical Peel Treatment:

Chemical peel treatments are often used to eliminate wrinkles, skin discoloration and blemishes. The procedure works by chemically stripping the outer layers of the skin to give skin a nice glossy finish.

One ingredient used in some chemical peel formulas is Alphahydroxy acid, a fruit acid that is one of the mildest ingredients used in skin resurfacing procedures. The chemical Phenol is a stronger solution used to treat more visible wrinkles and extensive skin damaged caused by UV rays. Risks include scarring especially on the neck and other parts of the body.

Microdermabrasion treatment:

The Microdermabrasion treatment is a simple peeling treatment that utilizes gentle ingredients in contrast to those that utilize chemicals. It is readily available at spas, clinics and stores where you can purchase do-it-yourself kits. While on microdermabrasion treatment, the patient undergoes an exfoliating action on the skin. The action cleanses pores and enhances the turnover of skin cells. Hence the treatment’s effectiveness on acne and acne scars.

There are two kinds of microdermabrasion treatments, one that uses crystals and another that doesn’t. When crystals are used, they may differ in hardness, abrasiveness and type. Aluminum-oxide crystals can be quite rough on sensitive skin, and so there is some considerable risk when it comes to microdermabrasion treatments. A patient goes through weekly intervals and conditioning peels every 6 weeks for maintenance.

Organic Skin Care Treatment:

Natural skin care can be achieved at home and can have long-term benefits without the cost. Using natural ingredients can alleviate sun damage and wrinkling skin. Organic cosmetic anti aging treatments include essential oils, body butters and carrier oils. Essential oils may derive from tea tree, lemongrass, peppermint, jojoba and lavender.

Two popular home-made cosmetic anti aging treatments are honey and shea butter. Honey is rich in antioxidants and has the ability to retain moisture. Shea butter is used to treat dermatitis, stretch marks and eczema. Clinical studies have shown that shea butter is safe and gives effective results.

Organic skin care products containing over 50% organic ingredients are considered to be the best organic skin solutions.

    Hey!!!! I have to admit I'm a little offended…

    …"would that backfire later on when i really need it in my 30's and beyond,"

    I'm in my 30's and I don't use or need anti aging products!
    Be careful cause maybe it will work in reverse for you and you will look like a old lady before long.
    Ok ok.. no it won't hurt you. go ahead and give it a try.

    >>>>> No worries, I know you meant no offence. I can remember being your age and thinking how OLD people in their 30's are. Now I'm even thinking people in their 40's aren't so old. (as I am getting there myself quickly enough) Don't worry Hun. It's all good!
